Happy Anniversary! Next anniversary I will have been with Corey as long as I was not with Corey. Weird!

This is what you get when you let your husband HUNT on your anniversary....AGAIN!

I deserve it, don't you think?

The color is AMAZING. They are beautiful and the scent of flowers is filling my kitchen. I especially love the orchid and it's smell. So yummy. Maybe my favorite flower... and flower smell.

By the way...Corey actually PICKED out the day for our wedding. And ever since he became a bow hunter he has been kicking himself!

Here's how the stinker celebrated....

We'll still have a date though. Standard dinner and a movie. My FAVORITE!!!!! I want to go see the new Planet of the Apes.

Susan said...Wait...what? I will have to research that!
Susan said...Huh! I guess Lily is my favorite flower then!

Aine said...You deserved to have the entire house filled with them. ;)

Christina said...Stargazer lily to be exact :D
Amy said...My favorite lily! You still owe her BIG time, Corey....

Susan said...I guess mine also! I thought they were orchids all this time. Christina, COrey said he asks for orchids....do the florist know what people mean when they say orchid?

Christina said...They should, there is like a $10 difference between a lily and an orchid!

Amy said...They should! But, apparently they knew you really liked lilies best! :)

Susan said...I guess so! I'm just wondering if people are always confusing the two or if it was just me...

Christina said...If I had a dollar for everyone who has yelled at me because they had the flower wrong, not me......trust me, you're not the first....and you won't be the last!

Mary said...Beautiful Flowers!!!!!!! and yes, you deserve them.....everyday:)

Nancy said...Those are the most georgeous flowers!!!

Carolyn said...Beautiful!!!; November 14, 2011 at 7:39 AM

I don't want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully, tailored clothes, my hair expertly coiffed, and with long, perfectly manicured fingernails.I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking kids to scout camp.I want to be there with a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbors children.I want to be there with a little dirt under my fingernails from helping to weed someone's garden.I want to be there with children's sticky kisses on my cheeks and the tears of a friend on my shoulder.I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived." — Marjorie Pay Hinckley

When the real history of mankind is fully disclosed, will it feature the echoes of gunfire or the shaping sound of lullabies? The great armistices made by military men or the peacemaking of women in homes and in neighborhoods? Will what happened in cradles and kitchens prove to be more controlling than what happened in congresses? When the surf of the centuries has made the great pyramids so much sand, the everlasting family will be standing, because it is a celestial institution, formed outside telestial time. The women of God know this. --Neal A. Maxwell

I know it is long but it is life altering!

C.S. Lewis- Meanwhile the cross comes before the crown and tomorrow is a Monday morning...It is a serious thing to live in a society of possible gods and goddesses, to remember that the dullest and most uninteresting person you can talk to may one day be a creature which, if you say it now, you would be strongly tempted to worship, or else a horror and a corruption such as you now meet, if at all, only in a nightmare. All day long we are, in some degree, helping each other to one or other of these destinations. It is in the light of these overwhelming possibilities that we should conduct all our dealings with one another, all friendships, all loves, all play, all politics. There are no ordinary people. You have never talked to a mere mortal. But it is immortals who we joke with, work with, marry, snub and exploit - immortal horrors or everlasting splendours. This does not mean that we are to be perpetually solemn. We must play. But our merriment must be of the kind (and it is, in fact, the merriest kind) which exists between people who have from the outset, taken each other seriously - no flippancy, no superiority, no presumption, and our charity must be a real and costly love, with deep feeling for the sins in spite of which we love the sinner - no mere tolerance, or indulgence which parodies love as flippancy parodies merriment. Next to the Blessed Sacrament itself, your neighbor is the holiest object presented to your senses."

"Women of God can never be like women of the world. The world has enough women who are tough; we need women who are tender. There are enough women who are course; we need women who are kind. There are enough women who are rude; we need women who are refined. We have enough women of fame and fotune; we need more women of faith. We have enough greed; we need more goodness. We have enough vanity; we need more virtue. We have enough popularity; we need more purity." Margaret D. Naduald

" Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine as children do. It's not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own lights shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others. -Nelson Mandela-
